WINDOW' FRAME AND SASH.

Application led February'28, 191B.v Serial No. 80,891.

To all whom it may concern: f

Be it known that we, DANIEL CARLOUGH, d r., and EUGENE Boennr, both citizens of the United States, residing at Paterson in the county of Passaic, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new 4and useful Improvements in Window Frames and Sash; and we declare the following to be a full, true, and exact description of said invention, such` as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make use of the same.

rlhe present invention relates to window frames and sash, particularly when made of metal in structural shapes, usually of steel.'

One of the objects of our invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive construction of sashes and frames so that the same will be eifectively weatherLproofed at their edges With this and other objects-in view, our invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement-.of parts as will be more fully pointedoutand described in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents the outside view of a window,the sash of which is pivoted;

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 'the pivot of the window;

Fig. 3 is a section on Fig. 1;

Fig. 4.- is a section on the lines 4 4 of Fig. 1;

Fig'. 5 is a construction which may he used instead of that shown in Fig.'3;

Fig. 6 is an inside view or" a double sashy window, of which Fig. 7 is an enlarged section takenpartly on the line 7-7 and partlyv on the line 7'-7 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8-8 of Fig. 6. v

The corresponding parts are referred to both in the drawings and in the specification by similar reference characters.

Referring particularly to the pivoted sash construction, one form of which we have illustrated in Figs. 1 'to 4 inclusive, it will be seen that the frame is made upoi the bars 1 0 having a section shown in Figs. 2-4; inclusive.

2f-2 through the lines 3 3 of 'of the ange of the T is set in the wall W and an angle bar 11 is fastened to the wel) of specification of Letters Patent'.

' moving in Patenten nee.. ters.

the bar10 with one` leg 03E the angle also inserted in the wall W. lt will he understood that the bars 10 are welded or lotherwise attached at their ends t0 forni the rectangular frame.

rEhe sash, iii the form chosen for purposes of illustration, is -made up of T-bars 12 having a rib extending along the ange and parallel to the web, preferably on each side of theweb. The glass Gr. is fastened in the sash by the putty P, the glass resting on the inner rib. l

In order to provide pivots on which the sash can be turned, we attach to the frame a block 13 and to the sash a block 14, these blocks being provided with' a pivot pin 15, and the blocks are arranged softhat at the bottom theyl will carryvthe weight of the window with just suiiicient clearance be tween the upper blocks 1314 to provide easy sliding motion between them-.

rThe window, as so far described, would, of course. have an opening between the sash and the frame in order to provide clearance to permit the sash to swing into the closed position. lt is an important part or our linvention that we provide means by which this clearance crack can be eiiectivel'y closed. ln the form which we have chosen for purposes vof illustration, the window is supposedto swing. for purposes of ventilation, so that the right-hand portion of the sash moves outward or'toward the spectator, the opposite or left-hand side, oi course,

the opposite direction. The portion to the right of the axis of the pivot 15 is constructed as shown in Fig. 3. The channel member '16 provided with the rib `17 is permanently fastened to' the web of the frame bar 10. the two legs of the channel and the ribs 17 being arranged in such a way that when the window isin closed position as shown in Fig. 3, one leg voii'the'wejo contacts with lthe rear edge-of the l``bar 12, the on the T-ba'r 12 contacts with the other leg of the channel member 16, and the rib 17 contacts with the inner side of the flange or theT-har 12. lt will thus he seen that we have provided three contact points which wind or water must pass before entering the building. Moreover, this arrangement is particularly eEective since we have provided a path which hy returning on itself, odors additional resistance to the wind and also in the event that water laden air is driven past the first contact point, the incomin air by.

reason of the bends in its path, wil lose its velocity, and the water will therefore be dropped andwill run down through the ver- 5 tical openings in the channel members from which it may be drawn ed through any suitable weep holes in the bottom of the Vsash or frame.

The portion of the sash to the left of the-- 1 0 pivot in Fig. 1 isprovidedl with the .con-` struction shown in Fig. 4. In this portion the channel bar 16 is attached to the sash and swings with the same. When the sash isy closed, however, we have obtained the same 15, three-point contact as'will be evident from an ins ection of Fig. 4.

At t e portion opposite the blocks 13-14,. there would beJ a chance forwater to be have show-n a construction which may be used at the top 'ofthe window to the right of the pivot, and in place of the structure 4shown in Fig. 3. An in- .'spectionrof Fig. 3 will show that any water which passes through the crack between the sash and the frame, and which should find its way past `the contact points between the two ribs and between the web of the T-bar 12 and the channel bar 16, would directly enter the building. This', of course, is not t'rue'of the arrangement' shown in Fig. 4 bejcase the channel bar is there fastened-to the web of theT-bar 12, and any water passing through the crack between the sash and 40 the frame would -have to work upward instead of downward.` In the arrangement shown in Figp, we have provided a pair of channel bars, one 30 fastened to the sash and the other 31 to the frame in such a way that as the frame is swung into place, the two legs of thesepchannel bars will contact with each other. Any water which may find its way into the channel ofthe lower channel bar, passes `out through the weep holes indicated. Y

We may also embody'our invention in a window having sliding instead of pivoted sash; Such a construction we haveillustrated in Figs. 6,-8. In these figures, the frame is made up of the bars 20 connected at their' ends in any suitable manner, to which are attached a pair of channel bars 21-.22 in any suitable manner, such as the screws 23. The sash is made up of the same' kind of T-bars as illustrated in Figs. 1-4' and the channel bars 21-22 are provided with the ribs as shown in Fig. 7.. Also as shown in 'that figure, these ribs, when the up-` per and lower sash are in place, act as guideways and weathering-contact points for the sash. The angle iron 24 is provided to hold the upper sash in'place, and preferably they channel bar 21 is provided with a r1b 25 so thatl the lower sash will have a relatively vsmall contact area with the channel 21. Fig.

48 shows one lform of a construction by which the space between the upper yand lower sash may be closed when the window is closed. We have provided in this 4construction a bar26 attached to the upper sash and a bar 27 attached to the lower' sash,-these, bars beto enter the building must pass three points of contact at least, and also Ythrough a` against, anywind pressure or water tending crooked path, which, as has been pointed out before, not only cuts down the velocity of the air and therefore, thelquantity passing through in 'case the contact pomts are not perfect, but also causes the water to drop out ofany moisture laden airv passing through'these cracks.

While we have shown our inventionin its preferred form, it should bennderstood that we do not desire to'conne ourselves to the specific forms illustrated It is obvious that many variations of -the shapes shown could be substituted for those-illustrated without departing'from ourinvention as defined in the appended claims.
